Child And Adult Care Food Program Participation: Beginning 2007 Child And Adult Care Food Program Participation: Beginning 2007 Health
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a nutrition education and meal reimbursement program helping providers serve nutritious and safely prepared meals and snacks to children and adults in day care settings. This dataset includes the names and locations of participating day care sites and whether or not the site is Breastfeeding Friendly Certified with CACFP, participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings (EWPHCCS) project, or participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Day Care Homes (EWPHDCH) project. This dataset excludes Child and Adult Care Food Program participation provided at homeless shelters and legally-exempt day care home providers. Not all counties in NYS are serviced by the grantees implementing the project EWPHCSS. The EWPHDCH project is currently limited to the areas served by the contracted agencies. The Child and Adult Care Food Program dataset is related to the Child Care Related Programs dataset on the www.Open.ny.gov website, however this dataset includes additional nutrition information. The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) is currently working to update the Child Care Related Programs dataset on a more frequent schedule with the OPEN NY team. OCFS and DOH will then be able to synchronize in the near future. Temporarily, DOH has omitted addresses for regulated child care providers that provide home care since this information is available on www.Open.ny.gov by using this link: https://data.ny.gov/Human-Services/Child-Care-Regulated-Programs/cb42-qumz. For more information, please visit http://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/nutrition/cacfp/ or go to the "About" tab.

Larvitar is one of the more underrated Little Cup Pokémon. While many think of it to be in the shadow of other status abusers such as Taillow and Teddiursa, Larvitar can be a formidable physical sweeper with correct support. Although its weaknesses to common priority moves reduce its effectiveness, much like Tyranitar in OU, the little dinosaur can rip holes in unprepared teams with little difficulty.
Larvitar's claim to fame lies in its ability to boost both its Attack and Speed to phenomenal levels in just one turn. Rock Polish is the preferred option as it allows Larvitar to outspeed all Choice Scarf users who have 17 Speed or less while maintaining a respectable 25 Attack. Dragon Dance puts Larvitar at 21 Speed after one use, outrunning every non-boosted Pokémon in Little Cup, and also allows Larvitar to reach an astronomical Attack stat of 36. Earthquake, a very powerful move in Little Cup that also comes with STAB, makes an obvious choice on the moveset. However, choosing between Stone Edge and Rock Slide all depends on power and accuracy, though Stone Edge is generally the better option as Larvitar wants to deal as much damage as it can before getting KOed. Crunch makes for great filler, being able to hit the Ghost-types of Little Cup, while being your most effective move against Bronzor.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Sadly, Larvitar does not have much of a movepool apart from what has been mentioned already. Outrage may be used for great neutral coverage, although the undesirable side effect discourages usage. Superpower hits Bronzor harder than any other move, but the Attack drop is usually not worth it. Larvitar can try and pull off a Curse set, but with the huge amount of weaknesses it possesses, Larvitar won't be staying around long enough to make full use of it.
Checks and Counters
Larvitar's only true counter is Bronzor. Resistance to its STAB attacks alongside the ability to OHKO Larvitar with Gyro Ball solidify its place as a Larvitar counter. Besides Bronzor, priority users such as Croagunk and Carvanha can also check Larvitar with ease. Effectively, anything with a super effective priority move can be considered a decent check to the little dinosaur.

First Lady Ann McCrory made a rare public appearance Thursday at the Durham Rescue Mission, reading books to children and handing out paper plate for lunch.
McCrory's handlers -- press secretary Ricky Diaz and the governor's sister, Linda Sebastian -- didn't let any reporters near her at the event and continually attempted to control photographers movements before asking them to leave the building before the end of the event, the N&O's Chuck Liddy reports.
More from the scene: Originally, photographers weren't allowed to photograph the First Lady and her sister, Kitty Hartung, reading a storybook to some of the children in the mission's daycare facility. Sebastian even attempted to have the mission's photographer banned from the room. The decision was changed minutes later and she allowed media still photographers about one minute to take photos of the event. Later at the lunch, the photographers and reporters were told to stand across the room from the first lady, unable to hear her interact at a table with two women who live at the mission's shelter. Before the event finished McCrory's press secretary escorted the photographers from the building.
No TV reporters were at the event. Only a photographer and reporter from the Durham Herald-Sun and the News & Observer/Charlotte Observer.

Data show improved Tennessee testing, graduation numbers9:10 am | November 1, 2012
NASHVILLE (AP) — Data released by the Tennessee Department of Education shows a statewide increase in the high school graduation rate and improvement in assessment tests taken by elementary and middle school students.
The figures released Thursday show the graduation rate for the class of 2012 increased from 85.5 percent to 87.2 percent and that elementary and middle school students grew in 23 out of 24 Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program measures last year.
Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman says he's pleased with the improvements, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
For instance, he said many school districts did not successfully narrow achievement gaps, and there were declines among particular student subgroups.

Valpo Falls in Season Opener at Eastern Illinois
Sunday, January 27, 2008
Despite Christine Antrobus' (Fort Wayne, Ind./Homestead H.S.) first collegiate victory, the Valparaiso Crusaders dropped their season opener on Sunday morning 6-1 to Eastern Illinois in Champaign, Ill.
"We played a lot better than we did in the fall," head coach Jay Adams said. "We played hard and kept fighting all day."
Antrobus earned her first victory with the Crusaders at the sixth spot in the lineup, posting a 6-4, 6-3 triumph over Carrie Larson.
Eastern Illinois (1-0) won the top five singles spots in straight sets. Sandra Sasidharan downed Jenny Schwartz (Aurora, Ill./West Aurora H.S.) 6-0, 6-2 while Natalie Martin defeated Kim Sajevic (Woodbury, Minn./Woodbury H.S.) 6-0, 6-4 at the top two spots. Valpo's Molly Keifer (Richmond, Ind./Richmond H.S.) fell 6-3, 6-0 to Hayley Homburg at number three singles while Cara Huck defeated the Crusaders' Lindsey Gustafson (Naperville, Ill./Benet Academy) 6-1, 6-2 at the fourth spot. Stephanie Harmazy defeated Julie Wingstrom (Dallas Lake, Ind./Westview H.S.) 6-2, 6-0 at fifth singles.
In doubles play, the Panthers won all three matches. Martin and Homburg were 8-2 victors over Keifer and Schwartz while Sasidharan and Huck defeated Wingstrom and Gustafson 8-0. Harmazy and Larson posted an 8-4 win over Sajevic and Jackie O'Reilly (DePere, Wis./DePere H.S.).
Valparaiso (0-1) will have a week off before heading to Muncie, Ind. on February 8 for a 10 a.m. CST match against Ball State.

A SOBER Prediction
POSTED: 20 January 2011
A SOBER Prediction
Can you believe I was kidnapped by Mr. Jameson and force fed that disgusting Whiskey he drinks, and then was told to give tips! It's why my form has not been so good. I would never have tipped Newcastle to beat Sunderland. I knew that it was always going to be a draw. I have the betting slip to prove it too!!!!!!!!!
So anyways, hope you guys still believe in the only face of Soccer. It's from my home town, not some remote place in this world the rest of the panel live in. They were still throwing spears and eating raw chicken while we were writing the rules for the beautiful game that we all follow with heart and soul today. You can see how upset I was at being kidnapped and force fed Whiskey by the others.
Everton will beat West Ham this week. West Ham are awful and would have put everything into last week's game. Mentally I think they are relegated, Everton on the other hand will want to beat Liverpool in the league this season. Not much of a price but I feel nailed on.
Good luck this week guys, if you see Mr. Jameson anywhere let me know as I have a score to settle with him.

Students with pending financial aid reimbursement for health insurance may enroll in or waive out of the plan up until the 15th day of classes.

THE ART WORLD about a Judith Leyster show at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. A show of the seventeenth-century Dutch painter Judith Leyster would have been a political gesture thirty or so years ago, but now, in celebration of her four-hundredth birthday, it's a highly dramatic pleasure. Leyster's genre pictures are among a small pool of important Western fine art by women prior to the nineteenth century. A native of Haarlem, Leyster moved to the vicinity of Utrecht after her father's bankruptcy in 1628. There, on the evidence of her painting, she was exposed to the work of major artists, notably Hendrick ter Brugghen. Leyster was married to Jan Miense Molenaer, a fellow artist, at the age of twenty-six. Mentions Leyster's complaint to the painters' guild of Haarlem against Frans Hals who was possibly her teacher. After her death, she was forgotten until 1892, when it was discovered that a painting thought to be by Hals, "The happy Couple," from 1630, was Leyster's. Discusses Leyster's "Merry Company," "The Last Drop," and "Self-Portrait." "The Proposition" (1631) is inexhaustibly interesting and disturbing. A ruddy, leering satyr of a man leans on a table beside a woman who is intently sewing, and offers her a handful of coins. The composition is oddly shoved to the left of the canvas, leaving empty space in which indefinite, almost Edvard Munch-like shadows lurk. The show's brochure, written by art historian Frima Fox Hofrichter, tells us that "to sew" was, as it remains, Dutch slang for sex, giving an unmistakable spin to an offer of money for a woman's sewing. In Leyster's work, social and sexual anxieties tingle with fire-alarm immediacy.

With the exception of Upton, those guys would be pretty good for playoff teams, not the Mets.
If the Mets aren't serious about contending next year, I'd just as soon make due with a patchwork CF platoon for the first half and throw den Dekker out there in the 2nd half. I'd rather evaluate some guys than to put Victorino inCF
not sure if Upton is lesser,he's younger and has more power than Bourn and in that bandbox of Citizen's Bank Park he could easily pop 30 hrs
plus they're not done
i agree with you actually and i've said it very often,it looks like next season is a developmental year for us and it wouldn't matter to me if Den Dekker is our starting centerfielder next season...he's going to be 26 next year has played enough at AA and AAA to either make it at the next level or not
it's just that the teams in front of us appear to be putting more distance between themselves and us as we stay stuck in neutral for the forseeable future
We will sign Andres Torres, have no fear.
If we trade it will be with SD for some scrub that is akin to Ryan Church.
Omar had a love affair with Washington's/Montreal's discards, and he turned us into them, and I'm willing to bet Sandy and co. have the same fondness for their old teams scrubs.
Covet what you know.
This is the process we need to move past.
Andres Torres?....i DO have fear
SD? are you dissing Nick Hundley?
yeah,i used to say that Omar always took the path of least resistance,the easy way
moves like re-upping Mota,Valentin,Shawn Green,El Duque,Moises Alou,Ollie,Luis Castillo, and others didn't take a lot of imagination and were just sooooo easy
we're still a little stuck in that Inertia Machine,IMO
>>SD? are you dissing Nick Hundley?<<
Look to the bench, not the everyday players.
yeah,yeah SMALL detail of Upton not playing in Philly,lol,don't try to confuse a guy like me who's already confused with the facts!!.....
but i still think Upton over the next few years,being younger,will outperform Bourn and i think that's why the Braves went harder after BJ....no question Bourn would have signed for Upton's contract but i'm sure it was never offered to him
if they do land one of those other FAs or Justin in a trade they'll be tougher still

Last week, before Lehman Brothers said it faced a loss and needed to raise capital, then-CFO Erin Callan told CNBC that the capital-raising would give the company stability and help it move towards better days ahead.
Then Lehman sent a shock across Wall Street on Monday when it announced that it expected the loss to total $2.8 billion and would raise $6 billion in capital.
"We took significant and dramatic steps to reduce our asset exposure, to reduce our leverage, while simultaneously improving our liquidity and capital position. Deleveraging is complete," Callan said then.
The firm Thursday demoted Callan and Chief Operating Officer Joseph Gregory amid investor unrest over Lehman's future.

Nt 50Th Anniversary
Posted 08 January 2013 - 08:03 AM
I think it is inevitable that it will be backward-looking rather than forward-looking (unless Nicholas Hytner chooses the occasion to announce his timely departure after 10 years at the helm). I would assume they'll get Richard Eyre and Trevor Nunn to direct something, and Peter Hall will be roped in too. It is arguable that the best director who has worked at the NT is Bill Bryden - it would be nice if he was called out of his Fulham semi-retirement to do something, he was supposed to be planning a production of The Seagull last year but it didn't seem to materialise ?

Well no, like Jack Shepherd said when they revived The Mysteries in 2000 it was like one of those football charity matches when formerly great players turn out. I'm just saying it would be nice to give him a bit of work.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 12:37 PM
Trevor Nunn never stops. I read in the press recently that he's going to artistically direct his second season at Theatre Royal, Haymarket once OMTG moves on. He wouldn't have led the NT for so long (or at all) if there'd been a younger suitable candidate at the time. The NT should just thank him again for keeping it afloat for ten years.
Peter Hall's powers are finally diminishing with age and his engagement would court excruciating embarrassment all round.
Bill Bryden's best work was done as he grew his own informal company within the NT over some years and any standalone production now would be a shadow of past achievements.
The Royal Court's 50th anniversary year's programme was a model of how best to do it, with Upstairs rehearsed readings of many past seminal plays and a programme of new productions which were given enhanced publicity and status by being presented and marketed as part of a celebratory year,
Living outside London gives a different perspective on the NT to most of you guys. I think the best use of the anniversary would be to focus on clarifying and widely and clearly communicating the NT's core purposes today and in the immediate future, with reference to the past where this is useful. That's hard to do as an end-of-term artistic director without appearing to be trying to tie the hands of your successor. It's also hard to do in the middle of the NT Future development, with your building in a state of flux and partial temporary closure,
I think this anniversary presents an opportunity to enable each of the Associate Directors to present their own individually branded mini-seasons of work throughout the year. This would open up a debate about the different functions of a national theatre and this could inform the choice of its future direction.

He wasn't there that long, just a single 5-year term.
The NT should look at the RSC 50th anniversary season in 2011 and use that as a template for everything that should be avoided when planning their own celebration.

What I meant is that, In my opinion, the current NT is to London and South East England what Sheffield Theatres is to Sheffield and South Yorkshire and a little beyond. If you live in the immediate catchment area, you tend to treat it simply as a regular provider of theatre productions of a high standard which you choose to attend or not according to personal taste or interest, etc.
But I think there should be more to a national theatre than just being an excellent regional theatre situated in the nation's capital city and replicating what every other regional theatre does but with more extravagance and more generous public funding. A national theatre should have an active interest in the theatre throughout the nation and also in the living and historical nation itself. It should also have active two-way international relationships.
If you compare the current NT with NTS and NTW, it seems to be hardly a national theatre to any significant extent, but instead to be more a favoured play factory and showcase.

Yes, that echoes in a way what I thought about the RSC 50th anniversary which really disgracefully was a Stratford-only event from a company which has a national remit.

The new 32 Bit release comes with an XFCE desktop as standard with an alternative Gnome version also available. According to a developer announcement, version 3.5 has been optimized for mobile devices with excellent WLAN support for Atheros, Broadcom, Intel and Ralink chip sets.
Dreamlinux 3.5 may be based on Debian 5.0 but it also contains some very up-to-date packages, including the 188.8.131.52 kernel, OpenOffice 3.0 and Firefox 3.1 (via the Easy-install module). Its own installer makes setting up easy, even for beginners and its USB pendrive ability enables the system to run "live" while still saving data changes (persistent).

Mini Chocolate Cupcakes with Multicolored Frosting
Diminutive chocolate cupcakes get dressed up in an array of color.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes
- Basic Buttercream
- Gel-paste food coloring
Cook's Note
To create an array of frosting shades, divide a batch of buttercream and tint each portion. We mixed different shades of gel-paste food coloring, including deep pink, dusty rose, egg yellow, lemon yellow, mauve, orange, peach, sky blue, and violet.
Step 1
Line mini-muffin tins with mini paper liners. Divide chocolate cupcake batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, about 10 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks.
Step 2
Reserve 1 cup frosting in a bowl. Divide remaining frosting among several bowls. (If making 1 color, place remaining frosting in a large bowl.) Dab a rubber spatula against a tiny drop of gel-paste coloring, and mix into a bowl of frosting. Add more, drop by drop, to reach desired color. Repeat with remaining frosting. If frosting is too dark, mix in some reserved white frosting. Frost cupcakes with tinted buttercream.

Stop Emotional Eating With These 5 Tips
Are you binge eating when you're sad? Happy? Stressed? These tips can help stop compulsive overeating
1 of 6
(Will Selarep/iStockphoto)
It's easy to use food as a crutch. Maybe you had a particularly stressful day, and that sugar rush from a pint of Ben and Jerry's is instant gratification. Or perhaps the problem lies deeper, and food fills a void in your life, like lack of a loving relationship or passion for your job. Only by acknowledging and examining these emotional hardships will you develop a healthy relationship with food, says Geneen Roth, author of the 2010 book, Women, Food and God. The following five tactics, she says, can help you overcome emotional eating.

Laryngeal (Voice Box) Cancer: What Patients Should Know in Decision Making
Written by Gregory T. Wolf, M.D.,
Head and Neck Oncology Program; Department of Otolaryngology
Cancer Evaluation and StagingThe first step in decision-making for patients with cancer of the larynx is accurate diagnosis and staging. This requires adequate tissue biopsy and histologic interpretation by a pathologist. Generally, these cancers are not difficult to diagnose by the pathologist, but if the clinical presentation is unusual (i.e. cancer in a younger person or non-smoker), or if the appearance is not typical or the growth is too slow or too fast, a second interpretation or re-biopsy may be warranted.
Because most treatment decisions are based on the size and extent of the cancer, precise direct visualization of the cancer is required. This usually involves examination with an endoscope in the physician's office, which allows determination of vocal cord mobility and other dynamic features and also direct laryngoscopy with a microscope under anesthesia. The exact size, shape and depth of invasion can be better determined and a search for adjacent areas of pre-malignant or malignant change can be assessed in other areas such as the oral cavity, pharynx and esophagus. The larynx is connected with the back of the tongue and the lower swallowing passageways and so these areas must also be examined thoroughly.
Radiologic imaging studies such as computerized tomographic (CAT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are often used to examine the neck for cancer spread outside the larynx or involvement of lymph nodes. Chest x-ray and barium swallow x-rays of the esophagus are routinely obtained looking for cancer involving the lungs or the esophagus (swallowing passage). Using information derived from these assessments, the cancer is "staged", i.e. descriptive numbers are assigned that categorize the cancer's size and potential for curability.
The AJCC has established guidelines for staging of cancer of the larynx that assign a description for the tumor (T), the regional or neck lymph nodes (N) and presence of distant metastases (spread of cancer) (M). Cancer of the larynx is often grouped into early (Stage I), intermediate (Stage II) or advanced (Stages III & IV) disease groups. Early cancers are remarkably curable with five-year survival or "cure rates" of 80-95% compared to advanced stages that have five-year survival rates of 25-50%.
Important elements of prognosis that are not represented in such a staging system include a patient's general health, age, immune function, and co-morbidities such as weight loss, heart disease, hypertension or diabetes. Because these cancers usually occur in patients in the sixth or seventh decade of life, as many as 15-20% die of causes other than the cancer itself.
Many factors enter into decision-making when it comes to the treatment or laryngeal cancer. Perhaps more than any other type of cancer, a patient's wishes are a significant element in every decision because of the wide variety of treatments available, the differences in how each treatment affects voice, swallowing and quality of life and the similarities in cure rates among the various treatments. Many of the decisions are influenced by subtle variations in the size or location of the cancer such that patients should seek out the most knowledgeable head and neck oncologists to get information specific to their individual cancer.
A skilled practitioner experienced in the diagnosis and staging of these cancers can only provide such advice. These cancers are usually slow growing and so, if necessary, there is ample time for consultation with both surgical, radiation and medical oncologists. Usually the surgical oncologist will "stage" the cancer and outline various treatment options and often will consult the specialists in the other disciplines.

Mutliple sources have confirmed to The Star that at least two individuals, South Alabama defensive coordinator Bill Clark and West Alabama coach Will Hall, will take part this weekend's interviews.
However, JSU president Bill Meehan — fresh off overseeing two graduation ceremonies — said via text message late Friday evening, "… to the best of my knowledge no interviews will take place (today.)"
Jacksonville State athletics department spokesman Greg Seitz referred all questions to CarrSports, the consulting firm assisting with the search. Attempts to reach CarrSports Friday evening were unsuccessful.
Clark declined to comment on his interview status. Attempts to reach Hall were unsuccessful, but West Alabama athletics director Stan Williamson confirmed his coach's invitation to interview, said to have been finalized Thursday night.
The Gamecocks have been in the market for a new head coach since firing Jack Crowe with two years left on his contract Nov. 30.
Clark, 44, was on the ground floor building South Alabama's start-up program. The Jaguars went undefeated in their first two seasons and now play in the Sun Belt Conference, a league JSU had hopes of being invited into when it began exploring a possible move to the Football Bowl Subdivision.
The Jags were 2-10 this season, and if they were fully FBS classified, Clark's defense would have ranked in the top 50 in total defense and pass defense. In 2011, still on the FCS level, they were ranked 16th in total defense and 10th against the pass.
Prior to going to USA, Clark, an Anniston native and JSU graduate, was the head coach at Prattville. He went 106-11 there from 1999 to 2007 and won AHSAA titles his last two years.
"At Prattville we were probably more college than a lot of small colleges," Clark told The Star this week when confirming his interest in the job. "I can say I've seen the whole gamut, from 3A (high school) to going Division I. … I kind of know what the Football Championship Subdivision landscape looks like. I know what the Football Bowl Subdivision landscape looks like. You are what your experiences are. That's definitely going to help."
Hall, 32, just completed his second season as West Alabama's head coach after three years as offensive coordinator. He was an All-America quarterback at North Alabama and threw four touchdown passes when the Lions came to Paul Snow Stadium and beat the I-AA Gamecocks 28-16 in 2003, the year he won the Harlon Hill Trophy as the best player in Division II.
His UWA team went 9-4 this season, winning the Gulf South Conference and splitting with Division II national finalist Valdosta State; it scored at least 40 points six times and gave up six points or fewer six times. His 2011 team went 8-4, including a two-point loss at then-No. 1 Delta State. His current contract runs through 2014.
"Will has done a fantastic job with the program," Williamson said. "He has helped put our program in a great situation. Obviously the Jacksonville State opportunity is one he needs to interview..
"For our program we want him to stay and I'll do whatever I can to keep him at West Alabama, but realistically with Jacksonville State being an FCS program and able to offer more money ... more likely if he gets that opportunity he'll take that job. But you know never what happens in the process. I'll do everything I can to keep him, but it's unrealistic of me or anybody at West Alabama to think he'll stay if he gets that opportunity."

I am continually fascinated by how much time and effort the media puts into trivial nonsense. I watched the Oscars and witnessed the flub John Travolta made when he introduced one of the songs nominated for an Oscar. He made it through the title of the song, but his tongue somehow decided to do a back flip when he announced the singer�s name. He called her Adele Dazeem rather than Idina Menzel.
I�m not sure where the point is when something goes from being a fun, wacky diversion to an irritating thorn in the foot of society, but I�m a little afraid that�s what�s happening to bacon.

Everyone's got at least one babysitting horror story
When you're thirteen years old there's a small but very definite list of things that you hate with ferocious intensity: homework and rules.
That means there are few worse things to be told when you're 13 than, "Do your homework!" Especially by someone who is being paid to look after you.
But that's exactly what happened in California this week, where according to Gawker a 13 year old boy threatened his babysitter with a kitchen knife when she asked, more than once, if he'd started his homework.
Let's be clear about this: homework might be a pain in the behind, but babysitting is no piece of cake either.
As anyone with experience in babysitting will tell you, everything is just fine until the front door shuts. The house is full of light and air, the kids are quiet and say hello to you. The parents, so happy and grateful for the opportunity to be leaving the house, can't seem to thank you enough. Even the dog is wagging its tail outside the back door.
But then the parents leave and that's when things start to get real. As the babysitter you're not the boss. No matter how many lists the parents write out for you or how many times the hallowed bedtime is spoken about, once that car is out of the driveway, you and the kids know, pretty much none of that stuff will happen.
Here's what happens instead. The television goes on and it goes up. The children, only moments before pleasant enough, lie on the floor and completely ignore any of your requests to do anything. Bedtime is completely irrelevant and invariably the dog starts running around the house or sitting on the couch with muddy paws.
And that's how things will stay until hours later when you're woken by the sound of the car coming up the driveway. You open your eyes to find the kids fallen asleep on the floor, and suddenly for the first time that night, you're a team with a clear mission: don't tell mum and dad.
Everyone makes a desperate scramble up from the floor and scoot to their beds in record time. Even the dog's ears prick up as you manage to drag him out the back door.
The parents walk in, a little bit flushed and drunk, and you look them in the eye and lie barefaced: "Yep, they went to bed at 9pm".
And when the door shuts behind you, and you're clutching those twenty dollar notes in your hand, everyone knows you'll be back.

I wonder if I get my web cam working, you will be able to see this ten month old tyrant sitting on my kknee with the headphones on her head ?
che says:
Worst baby sitting experience was being left with a one year old baby for a whole day when I was 17. The kid cried all day, wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep, pretty much hated me for a 12 hour period. I thought I was going insane, it completely put me off having children. Anyone wanting to discourage a teenager from getting pregnant should use this method.
Kate says:
I used to babysit our neighbour's 6 year old. He pretty much wouldn't go to bed, and his mum knew this. The night would be hour after hour of tricking, persuading, threatening and just plain getting mad at this kid for getting back up after going to bed. His mum ended up putting a slide bolt on the OUTSIDE of his bedroom door to keep him in there, which I was encouraged to do. His older brother would make dinner and there was never any offered to me even though I'd be there all night. I was not even offered so much as a glass of water. All for $2 an hour! Went on for about 6 months and I told the mum it was far too much work for an evening for eight bucks. I know she struggled to find a babysitter afterwards.
Mayday says:
" As the babysitter you're not the boss."
The first assumption is wrong. If you are not the boss why are you there and why are you being paid?
I warn the parents before I take the job to expect a call from myself if the children don't follow instructions. If I have to call the parents they get an hour to get home and then I leave never to return.
Be a responsible babysitter and you'll get a better class of client.
M says:
I used to baby sit two boys who lived over our back fence. It was great, we played in the back yard, then we all shot aliens on xbox for a bit, watched whatever movie mum had rented for the night, and then they put themselves to bed!
The secret to good baby sitting is to tire the little buggers out. Physical excercise in the back yard is great for that.
Jenn says:
I started babysitting at 13. At 15 I started babysitting a 3 month old baby (who leaves their baby with a 15yr old?!) At the same age I was babysitting up to 5 kids at a time. (again - who does this?) I babysat/ nannied all through my degree. I look back and realize that people sure were trusting! I don't know if I would let the same happen. One of my worst experiences was having a dad come home before his wife and crack onto me when I was 19 - I didn't know what to do! Ive had so many wonderful experiences. Even though I have a grown up job I still love a bit of babysitting on the side!
KimL says:
I baby sat 2 small children aged 3 and 4 for their mother while she went hopping. I was in the kitchen getting lunch when i started hearing strange noises then crash and bang. Wen i went to the lounge room where they were supposed be to coloring in, they has used my cd's as Frisbee's and broken glass and ornaments were everywhere. Their mother laughed when I told her, that was the last time I ever baby sat anyone else's children. The cost to me was way not worth it and I never even charged her to mind her 2 little horrors
xar says:
can't say I've ever had a problem babysitting nor looking after other peoples children. Children are not inherantly evil, and even bad behaviour is just another way of communicating, it always tells you something if you are paying attention. So much of working with kids is about being self reflective and realising that behaviour doesn't happen in issolation. Personaly I think it is such an increadibly important thing to be given responsability for the care of children that you have to honor that. kids deserve carers who care about more than the paycheck.

Four Rooms - Room 309 - the misbehavers with Tim Roth and Antonio Banderas - hilarious
link shows the end scene but whole sketch excellent
infact whole movie prety good - room four with willis and tarrantino great.
Anonymous Coward says:
I've had heaps of experience looking after kids….from the nappied variety up to only a few years younger than myself….I think my first go I was about 10 and the other kids in the area knew it was my first time babysitting and hung round the house making weird animal noises scaring the living daylights out of me. But my worst experience was with an only child 2 year old who had been angelic on all but one occasion with me. This day she would NOT do anything asked, I was unwell and had a migraine and she was a total little monster. In the end I spat it and for the first time ever, raised my voice at her. It was probably the second last time I ever looked after her - whether it was because her aunt upstairs was home or because her mother changed jobs I don't remember. But I got a great reference and seriously, the only time while baby sitting that I'd had a problem….now I have multiple children of my own, speaking quietly is the threat
RELB says:
I had the experience of babysitting my 2 year old niece and a one point her and one of her little friends (a 2 year old boy).
A lot of nappy experiences and the little guy turning on the oven decided me to not have kids. The little boy had some fixation with the oven and I was not warned about it, I found the hard way when the hear emanating from the thing caught my attention.
I am a guy and recently married. I have been trying to keep an open mind regarding children since I do not want my wife to miss out on the experience. Thank god that it seems she does not like them either.
I have certainly found the best woman for me.
Loulou says:
Bad experience #1 - At 15 I babysat the school janitor's kids (2 and 6mo). He & his wife bolted out the front door when the 2yo wasn't looking, shortly after telling me they'd never used a babysitter before. The poor tyke stood by the frosted glass at the front door whimpering the whole time (about 4 hours) and wouldn't be distracted by anything. Meanwhile the 6mo woke up and screamed bloody murder for the remaining 2 hours. It's the only time I ever rang my mum whilst babysitting!!
Bad experience #2: I babysat 2 little shites every Tuesday after school so their mum could go to night shift. Once the family dog had puppies just as I arrived (ok, so that was kind of cool!) and another time I went to the toilet and the boy (10) went out trick or treating with his friends without telling me, leaving me with his sister (8) and no way of figuring out where he was!! His father marched him over to our place to apologise later that evening…

WESTERN SLOPE – If you've experienced great fishing on rivers in Delta, Montrose, Ouray, and San Miguel counties over the past 20 years, chances are that great experience was, at least in part, made possible due to the efforts of the Gunnison Gorge Anglers chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Conservation efforts concerning water are never an easy task, especially in this part of the state where the list of stakeholders is long and diverse. Always with the improvement of fisheries in the forefront, GGA has been able to work with stakeholders in inventive ways, and looking back to its inception in 1984, the local chapter of Trout Unlimited has an impressive resume of accomplishments. Perhaps what's most apparent, though, is the region's renowned fishing possibilities, much of which is due to the work of the fishing club.
A celebration of those accomplishments along with a fundraiser for the GGA chapter is coming Thursday, July 26, as it will once again hold its Trout-a-Palooza event at Telluride's Ah Haa School from 6:30-9 p.m. The event, which includes dinner, a social hour, raffles and both silent and live auctions for fly-fishing gear, float trips, artwork and sculptures, is intended to help raise the funds needed for the group to continue its conservation work.
"Our main goal is to improve the cold water fisheries that we are blessed to have," said GGA President Marshall Pendergrass. "Essentially our scope is to work on any water issues in the Gunnison River drainage, the Uncompahgre drainage, the San Miguel drainage, and the upper Dolores River."
Pendergrass said funds raised at Trout-a-Palooza will go toward achieving some river work GGA has planned ,but before he got into the details of those projects, which include replacing a dangerous diversion dam on the Gunnison River and continuing to improve Uncompahgre River access in Montrose, he offered an outline of some of the impressive work that's already been done, with GGA's help, over the years.
Ever fish the manicured waters of the Uncompahgre River below the Ridgway Reservoir? According to Pendergrass, GGA was instrumental in providing the seed money to make the Pa-Co-Chu-Puk area of the Ridgway State Park become a reality in the early 90s.
"We worked in a partnership with [Colorado] State Parks and the Division of Wildlife and provided the upfront money to do the design and engineering of the area," he said. "They needed a nonprofit, like GGA, to facilitate the project and go after grant money. That's where we found our key role in that. The result is a mile-and-a-half stretch of Gold Medal water."
It's now GGA's goal to make Pa-Co-Chu-Puk a world class fishery both in the summer and the winter as plans for a hydroelectric power station at the dam take shape. If GGA has its way, the hydro project will use two turbines, one for higher flows and one for lower flows that will make power generation a reality year-round. With those two in place, higher sustained winter flows are possible, and Pa-Co-Chu-Puk could become a year-round fishing destination.
"If we can expect 100 [cubic feet per second] flows during the winter, it will increase the fish habitat tenfold," Pendergrass said.
Further downstream on the Uncompahgre, GGA is continuing to work with the City of Montrose on river restoration projects with a goal of achieving close to 10 miles of public fishing water in total on the river by the end of the decade.
Perhaps GGA's biggest achievement in fishing access occurred on the Gunnison River where it meets with the North Fork of the Gunnison, known as Gunnison River Pleasure Park.
"Thirty years ago, it was all private, you couldn't access the lower gorge on foot," Pendergrass said. "Along with other sportsmen's groups, we were able to buy land on both sides of the river, and then it was deeded over the Bureau of Land Management for a dollar. Now the BLM has developed a road system, put in toilets, boat ramps, the Cottonwood Camp…It all started with people having the foresight that this was an important piece of water."
More recently, Pendergrass said GGA has had a hand in keeping access to the Gunnison River below the Smith Fork open to people with disabilities by weighing in on whether or not a jet boat permit in the area should be re-issued after the famous jetboat operator and outfitter LeRoy Jagodinski died last year.
"We pushed real hard for that jet boat service," Pendergrass said. Since accessing the Gunnison River in the gorge is so tough, especially for those with disabilities, he said the jetboat would help with access to the river below the Smith Fork. "The jetboat was needed to fish the lower part, and [the BLM] was agreeable to that."
One of the more innovative issues GGA took part in solving was the problem of ice floes on the San Miguel River. After a long process based on research, it was found that ecosystem-damaging ice floes during the winter months were caused by warm water being pumped from Trout Lake, through the Ames Power Station, and into the South Fork of the San Miguel River. To solve the problem, researchers found that circulators on Trout Lake, along with slowing the pump rate of the water to the power station, would cool the water temperatures enough so it would no longer melt the river's ice down below.
"I really commend the scientists who worked with BLM and the Forest Service on this," Pendergrass said. "The ice wiped out bug life and fish – at one time, there were no carryover fish. It was really detrimental. Over the past two or three years, the fishing on the San Miguel has been the best it's ever been."
Pendergrass could take the better part of a week explaining all of the accomplishments GGA has achieved. That list includes:
• Work toward designating the San Miguel River as Wild and Scenic, which is still in the process.
• Helping to secure a 300 cfs minimum flow through the Black Canyon National Park.
• Restructuring the banks of the Uncompahgre River near Baldridge and Cerise parks in Montrose.
• Involved in mitigation for the South Canal Hydro Project with the Delta-Montrose Electric Association.
• Helped acquire a mile of Uncompahgre River from Target north to the jogging trail bridge equaling 35 acres and one mile of river.
• Worked to help solve Whirling Disease in the Gunnison River in an effort to bring back a disease-resistant rainbow trout population.
And of course, Pendergrass said GGA's work is not over. This fall, GGA expects to complete the restructuring of a diversion dam on the Gunnison River below the confluence of the North Fork and hopes to work on improving stream flows below McPhee Reservoir on the Dolores River.
Looking back at the work GGA strives to do, Pendergrass said it's all comes down to working with people to protect and improve water.
"We believe in the old saw: 'If you take care of the water, you take care of everybody else.'"

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Eric Russell firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster is once again alleging possible voting irregularities, this time claiming that groups of unknown black people showed up in some rural towns to vote on Election Day.
Maine Republican Party chairman Charlie Webster
Webster made the claim in a wide-ranging, post-election interview this week with Don Carrigan of WCSH-TV.
"In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day," he said. "Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in (these) towns knows anyone who's black. How did that happen? I don't know. We're going to find out."
When Carrigan pressed Webster on where it happened, Webster provided no specifics or proof of his claims, but said the party would investigate further.
When asked about the issue in an interview Wednesday with the Portland Press Herald, Webster again refused to provide specifics.
He said his point is not that the new voters were black, but that they were not recognized by town officials.
"I'm not talking about 15 or 20. I'm talking hundreds," he said Wednesday. "I'm not politically correct and maybe I shouldn't have said these voters were black, but anyone who suggests I have a bias toward any race or group, frankly, that's sleazy."
Webster's comments come at a sensitive moment for Republicans, including many who say the election losses last week show that the party needs to reach out to minority voters.
Lance Dutson, a Republican strategist and former campaign manager for Senate candidate Charlie Summers, posted a statement on his Twitter account Thursday saying Webster should step down now rather than wait until his term ends next month.
"Webster's statements should be cause for immediate resignation. Any GOP who values future of the party should demand the same," he says in the Tweet.
Webster said he has identified five "pockets" of the state where he has concerns about voting irregularities. He would not identify those areas, but said he plans to mail "Thank You" cards to all of the newly registered voters. If a large number of cards are returned because the addresses are invalid, Webster said, he will know he is on to something.
Megan Sanborn, spokeswoman for Secretary of State Charlie Summers, said Summers was shocked when he watched the video of the interview on WCSH.
"Our office has not heard any complaints about Election Day," Sanborn said. "Secretary Summers jealously guards the right of everyone to vote and feels that they should."
Hallowell Town Clerk Deanna Mosher Hallett, outgoing president of the Maine Town and City Clerks' Association, said she hasn't heard about any Election Day problems from clerks around the state.
"If there is enough chatter out there, I'd hear about it," she said. "Everything went smoothly."
There were reports on Nov. 6 that Somali immigrants in Auburn were challenged at the polls by a Republican poll watcher, who later backed off that challenge.
Maine historically has been among the whitest states. In the 2010 census, only Vermont had a smaller percentage of minorities, but Maine showed a subtle demographic shift, particularly in certain areas. The 2010 census showed Maine's black population at 15,707, just 1.2 percent of the total.
Democrats criticized Webster for making new allegations without providing any proof or details, although they said they don't consider his comments racist.
Sen. John Patrick, D-Rumford, said he agrees with Webster on one thing: There were new voters on Election Day.

I repeat. Give me any shred of evidence that stimulants (including amphetamines) enhance performance in any way.
As much as I'm in favor of not counting Gatlin's first offense for Adderall harshly against him, I'm also not convinced that amphetamines can't improve performance in certain types of events or under certain conditions, so I do agree with the rules that ban them in-competition.

Woman going bald for charity tops Harrow Times most-read story via Facebook list
5:30pm Friday 27th December 2013 in News By Jaber Mohamed
A story about an investment banker who raised more than £9,000 by having her head shaved for charity drew in the most readers from Facebook in 2013.
The Harrow Times' annual web figures released this week, show more than 1,012 people read the story about Mani Hirani's fundraising efforts via a link on Facebook.
Mrs Hirani, 39, of Stanmore, raised £9,390 for St Luke's Hospice, based in Harrow, the 240 Project, which looks after socially excluded and vulnerable adults, and the Honeypot Children's Charity.
The second Harrow Times story from this year to receive the most hits via Facebook was about students who raised money for their teacher's brother who was injured serving in Afghanistan.
Pupils of tutor group 10CJ from Park High School, Stanmore, raised money for the brother of their teacher Chris Jones.
His brother Tim was injured by an improvised explosive device while he was on tour in Afghanistan with the 1st Battalion Princess of Wales Royal Regiment in November 2011.
Without their teacher knowing, the class pulled together and organised a cake sale to raise £132 for charity Help for Heroes.
Tim Jones visited pupils at the school to thank them for their hard work raising the money.
Meanwhile, the most read story via Twitter was about detectives hunting a man after a teenage girl was the victim of a serious sexual assault near Harrow-on-the-Hill station.
A total of 1,086 people accessed the story via the social networking site.
The attacker followed the 17-year-old when she got off a train and assaulted her outside the station in Clarendon Road opposite the Royal Oak pub.
Our latest web figures also show that the most searched for word via the Harrow Times website in 2013 was "cannabis", with a total of 642 searches.
